What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-surgical skin treatment that uses a specialist device with fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural wound-healing response, which plays a role in collagen and elastin production.
Collagen and elastin help support the skin's structure, firmness and elasticity. As the skin recovers, microneedling may help improve the appearance of uneven texture, certain types of acne scarring and fine lines.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is used to support skin rejuvenation without the addition of dermal filler or surgical procedures.
At Amore Enhancements, your suitability will be discussed before treatment, including your skin concerns, medical history and desired results.
What Can Microneedling Help With?
Acne Scarring
Microneedling may help soften the appearance of certain types of acne scarring by supporting collagen remodelling within the skin. Results vary according to the type and depth of scarring.
Uneven Skin Texture
The treatment can support smoother-looking skin and improve the appearance of rough or uneven texture over time.
Dull-Looking Skin
Microneedling may help improve the overall appearance of the complexion as the skin heals and renews.
Fine Lines
By encouraging the skin's natural collagen response, microneedling may help improve the appearance of fine lines.
Enlarged-Looking Pores
The treatment may improve the appearance of skin texture and pores, although it cannot permanently remove or close pores.
Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling is an option for clients looking to improve overall skin quality, texture and the appearance of early signs of skin ageing.
Microneedling may be considered for a range of skin concerns, depending on your skin type and individual suitability.
MEDISCO Hyaluronic Acid SkinBooster
For hydration, dryness and dull-looking skin
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture. The MEDISCO Hyaluronic Acid formula contains hyaluronic acid derivatives alongside ingredients such as niacinamide and panthenol.
This formula is suited to a hydration-focused approach for skin that appears dry, dehydrated or lacklustre. Hydration can help the skin look smoother, softer and more supple.
May be considered for:
✓ Dry or dehydrated-looking skin
✓ Dull, tired-looking complexions
✓ Skin that feels tight or lacks suppleness
✓ Improving the appearance of skin smoothness
The Serums We Use for Microneedling
At Amore Enhancements, we use selected MEDISCO SkinBooster serums as part of our microneedling treatments. Different formulations are designed to address different skin concerns, from dehydration and dullness to excess oil and congested-looking skin.
The serum selected for your treatment will depend on your skin type, concerns and suitability. Our aim is to personalise your treatment rather than use the same formula for every client.
MEDISCO PDRN EXO SkinBooster
For skin conditioning and a refreshed-looking complexion
The MEDISCO PDRN EXO formula contains PDRN, listed as sodium DNA, alongside ingredients including sodium hyaluronate, niacinamide and panthenol.
PDRN is an ingredient used in some cosmetic skin-conditioning formulations. The formula is intended to support the appearance of healthier-looking skin and complement a skin rejuvenation treatment. However, results depend on the product, how it is used and individual skin response; claims of tissue regeneration or significant repair should not be assumed.
May be considered for:
✓ Skin that looks dull or tired
✓ Improving the appearance of overall skin quality
✓ Supporting a personalised skin-conditioning treatment
✓ Clients seeking a skin rejuvenation approach
MEDISCO AC BHA SkinBooster
For congested-looking skin and uneven texture
The MEDISCO AC BHA formula contains exfoliating acids, including glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid, alongside ingredients such as niacinamide and panthenol.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) help exfoliate the skin's surface, while beta hydroxy acid (BHA), such as salicylic acid, can help address oil and congestion within pores. This type of formulation is designed for a clarifying approach to skin that looks congested or uneven.
May be considered for:
✓ Oily or congested-looking skin
✓ The appearance of blocked pores
✓ Uneven-looking skin texture
✓ Skin that looks dull due to surface build-up
IMPORTANT: The formula contains exfoliating acids, so it is not suitable for every skin type or every microneedling protocol. Your practitioner will assess suitability and follow the product's instructions before selecting this option.
Which Microneedling Serum Is Right for Your Skin?
Every person's skin is different. During your consultation, we'll discuss your concerns and choose an appropriate approach based on your skin, medical history and treatment goals.
Not every serum is suitable for use with every microneedling technique. Products must be used in accordance with their intended application and manufacturer instructions, particularly when the skin barrier is temporarily disrupted by treatment.
Microneedling and its accompanying products can cause side effects, including redness, irritation, sensitivity and, in some cases, changes in pigmentation. A consultation helps us consider your suitability and the most appropriate treatment plan.
Discover PRP Facial Treatment
If you're interested in another approach to skin rejuvenation, you may also wish to explore our PRP facial treatment.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and may be used alongside microneedling as part of a suitable treatment plan. PRP is different from cosmetic skin booster serums, and its suitability, potential benefits and risks should be discussed during a consultation.
Discover more about our PRP facial treatment, how it works and whether it may be suitable for your skin concerns.
Your skin changes over time due to natural ageing, environmental exposure, lifestyle and other factors. You may notice uneven texture, fine lines, acne scarring or a loss of smoothness.
Microneedling for skin rejuvenation works by creating controlled micro-injuries that activate the skin's natural healing response. The resulting collagen remodelling takes time, so improvements develop gradually rather than immediately.
The aim is to support healthier-looking skin while keeping your natural features unchanged.
Why Choose Microneedling?
1. Consultation
We discuss your skin concerns, medical history, current skincare routine and treatment goals. Your skin will be assessed to help determine whether microneedling is appropriate.
Your Microneedling Journey
2. Skin Preparation
Your skin is cleansed and prepared for treatment. Depending on the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be considered to improve comfort.
3. Microneedling Treatment
A specialist device is passed over the selected treatment area to create controlled microchannels in the skin. The technique and treatment depth depend on the area being treated and your individual needs.
4. Skin Recovery
Your skin begins its natural healing response. Temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity and tightness are common immediately after treatment.
5. Gradual Results
As the skin recovers and collagen remodelling takes place, improvements in texture and the appearance of certain scars may develop over the following weeks and months.
6. Follow-Up
Depending on your skin concerns and response to treatment, a course of sessions may be recommended. The number and spacing of treatments will be discussed during your consultation.

Correct aftercare is important to help your skin recover and reduce the risk of irritation or infection
Microneedling may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, we will discuss your medical history, current medication, skin concerns and any relevant health conditions to help determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Please let us know if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an active skin infection, cold sore, inflamed acne or irritation in the treatment area
- Have eczema, psoriasis or another skin condition affecting the area
- Have a history of keloid or raised scarring, or problems with wound healing
- Have hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation or a history of pigmentation changes
- Take blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding or clotting disorder
- Have an autoimmune condition, a weakened immune system or a medical condition that may affect healing
- Take isotretinoin or other medication that may affect your skin or its healing process
- Have allergies or sensitivities to topical anaesthetics, metals or products that may be used during treatment
- Have recently undergone another injectable, aesthetic or skin-resurfacing treatment
Some of these factors may mean treatment needs to be postponed or that further medical advice is required. This list is not exhaustive, and suitability will depend on your individual circumstances and the treatment being considered.
If you're unsure whether microneedling is suitable for you, please speak to us before booking. Your safety always comes first.
The number of microneedling sessions depends on your skin concerns, the treatment intensity and the results you hope to achieve.
Some people may benefit from a course of treatments rather than a single session. Treatments must be spaced appropriately to allow the skin to recover fully between appointments.
During your consultation, we will discuss a realistic treatment plan based on your skin and individual needs. Results are gradual, and more than one session may be needed to achieve noticeable improvements.
